With book sales of more than 500 million worldwide, you could throw a stick and hit seven Harry Potter fans – though we don’t recommend it – especially as they’re mostly children.
The editions sold in the UK and in the US aren’t identical – for example the book known as Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone became Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone for the US audience. But not everything was rewritten – or refilmed – for America, and that led to some misunderstandings.
TikTok channel Reddit Journals shared some of them.

Scotland? How?
One fan stitched her Harry Potter misunderstanding, and we doubt there’ll be a better one.

She wasn’t alone.
It wasn’t even just the US that thought Filch had carte blanche to drop-kick children.
